Reclamation announces 60-day comment period for draft contracts for Central Valley Project’s Delta and Friant contractors.
FRESNO, Calif. - The Bureau of Reclamation announced today ongoing congressionally mandated contract conversions pursuant to the Water Infrastructure Improvements for the Nation Act. Today’s release includes a draft repayment contract for the Department of Veteran Affairs, a Central Valley Project Delta contractor for a 60-day public comment period. This is one of over 80 repayment contract conversions requested by federal CVP contractors.
Section 4011 of the WIIN Act directs Reclamation to convert water service contracts to repayment contracts upon a contractor’s request and authorizes prepayment of outstanding CVP construction costs. Under Section 4011, full repayment is due within three years of the contract conversion.
Both the prepayment and accelerated repayment of the contracts will result in the federal government being repaid in advance of the original repayment deadline. These dollars will be placed in an account to fund needed storage projects. Increasing storage capacity will allow Reclamation’s projects to capture additional water in wet years to help meet the water needs for project purposes in dry years.
Written comments on this contract must be received by close of business on November 2, 2021, and sent to Erma Leal, South Central California Area Office, Bureau of Reclamation, 1243 N Street, Fresno CA 93721 or faxed to 559-262-0371 or emailed to Erma Leal.
